Albion 12

Automobiles

The Albion 12 was a twin-cylinder private car from Albion Motors of Glasgow, built from 1900 to 1906 with a 2659 cc engine according to the model list in the history of the company. It overlapped the smaller Albion 8, which ran from 1900 to 1904, and the larger Albion 16, which followed from 1905, so for several years Albion sold two or three twin-cylinder cars at the same time. In 1903 the company moved from Finnieston Street to new premises in Scotstoun, and in 1903 it also introduced a 16 hp vertical-twin. Cars were the main business of Albion for its first ten years, until 1909 when it was decided to concentrate on commercial vehicles such as the A10.
